PRINTING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18604084 titled 'PRINTING APPARATUS
The abstract describes a patent application for a system where a waste liquid container is held in a printing apparatus, with a liquid supply tube overlapping the waste liquid container region. A contact reducing member is placed between the liquid supply tube and the waste liquid container to reduce contact between them.
- Waste liquid container held in a printing apparatus
- Liquid supply tube overlaps waste liquid container region
- Contact reducing member reduces contact between tube and container
- Positioned above carriage movement path in transport direction
- Downstream of carriage movement path in transport direction
Potential Applications: - Printing industry - Manufacturing processes - Industrial equipment
Problems Solved: - Preventing contact between waste liquid container and liquid supply tube - Efficient waste liquid management in printing apparatus
Benefits: - Reduced maintenance costs - Improved printing efficiency - Enhanced equipment longevity
Commercial Applications: Title: Waste Liquid Container System for Printing Apparatus This technology can be used in various printing apparatus to optimize waste liquid management, reducing maintenance costs and improving overall efficiency. The market implications include increased productivity and reduced downtime for printing companies.
Questions about Waste Liquid Container System for Printing Apparatus: 1. How does this system improve the efficiency of waste liquid management in printing apparatus? This system reduces the contact between the waste liquid container and the liquid supply tube, preventing potential issues and optimizing the overall printing process.
2. What are the key benefits of implementing this waste liquid container system in a printing apparatus? The key benefits include reduced maintenance costs, improved printing efficiency, and enhanced equipment longevity, leading to increased productivity and reduced downtime.
Original Abstract Submitted
A holding portion holding a waste liquid container is disposed at a position at which a waste liquid container region overlapping the waste liquid container in a region inside a printing apparatus and a movement path of a carriage overlap when viewed from a transport direction, above a transport path and downstream of the movement path of the carriage in the transport direction, a liquid supply tube overlaps the waste liquid container region when viewed from the transport direction, and a contact reducing member reducing contact between the waste liquid container and the liquid supply tube is disposed between the liquid supply tube and the waste liquid container region.
